Real Princess

“I’m very proud and I feel a lot of joy and gratitude of being born in this family, which has a beautiful story, and have had the opportunity to experience people and very strong characters. Lately I have searched a lot about Leopoldina and Princess Isabel and understood how were women far ahead of your time. Leopoldina is the one who signed the independence of Brazil, and she was an advocate of women’s rights, being black or not, slaves or not. She had a very advanced at that time, and it has inspired me too – since I have a slightly better position in media-that I can do so too. On the other hand, we live in a Republic, and have the same rights and duties as any other citizen. But it’s very nice to have this back story and being able to inspire it. I also had opportunities to travel, to study in schools, and having lived in Petrópolis, a city very pleasant – it must be a bit like Porto Alegre –, a small town with lots of green. That makes a lot of sense for a child, I think they should all have this relationship with nature, especially here in Brazil, a country as Rico. Deprive a child of this is very sad. Other than that, I’m a fighter. ”

It is very beautiful to live. ”
